≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

I enjoy the personality perks we can utilize in the new system, But I would like to see the dialogue tree expanded on in future lores, Being able to negotiate conflicts over simply pew pew fuck words and guns may be a good avenue of alternate outcomes for storytelling

4

19. What are some strengths and weaknesses of the current impact of player choices on combat outcomes?
Ehhhh Like I said I'd like to see dialogue resolutions so we don't have to get engaged in long winded battles, I find the battles and locations memorable themselves, But I do feel like they go on a little to long sometimes.

I won't lie I mute the game during combat because I find the music a bit annoying at times.

27. What are some strengths and weaknesses of the current role of NPCs in combat scenarios?
I enjoy the NPC's, They've always been distinct thusfar. But I know Tyler enough to know he's good at doing that. He has an eye for making physically and visually distinct characters.

Give me more RPG's to kill Carl Miller with.

Being able to kill them with a rocket launcher, Give me a fucking rocket launcher you son of a--

File #1: Extraction, File #2: Downfall, File #3: Descent, File #4: Manhunt, File #5: Redeemer

36. What was your role in the scenario(s) you participated in?
I was the guy that was the GOD DAMNED sexual tyrannosaurus.

37. What aspects of the scenario(s) you participated in stood out the most?
I enjoyed our flashback to Louisville as Marines and our little excursion to the Republic of Texas, They felt the most authentic as expansions to the world of What We Beegbums.

38. Do you have any suggestions for improvements for future scenarios?
Dialogue options I think would be a good addition, While I do enjoy combat, I do think there should be a balance between negotiation and combat as blowing away hordes of mooks when we aren't fighting the undead or mutated can become a bit tedious and repetitive.

39. Are there any other comments you’d like to share?
